The staff at Diventures is great and really takes time to teach each child in ways that benefit them and their capabilities! My 2 1/2 year old is always comfortable with them.

My kiddos love this place! I just wanted to mention how much it meant to me that your dedicated instructors took the extra time to make my youngest comfortable with going into the water. On the way home she told me she loves her new water friends.

The area is a labyrinth of straits between small sandstone islands eroded by waves. The marine life diversity is considerably greater than all other areas sampled in the coral triangle. The moderate currents bring nutrients which means lots of healthy fish and coral.

We offer a rich and natural shark encounter experience on these trips by descending down to 30 feet where great white sharks naturally spend their time. We don’t need to use chum at depth; the sharks are already there. We have seen up to nine great whites at once circling the cages. Without chum these great whites are more relaxed, exhibit much more curiosity, and come in much closer to the cages. It is an unforgettable rush when a great white looks at you from 50 feet away and then swims over for a closer look. We see great whites on three out of four dives... Details

Open Water Certification Course/Instructors
We took our course the beginning of July over a weekend and felt the course was well led. The instructors never made us feel rushed or under pressure, and the skills were taught at a very comfortable pace.

Great facility, staff and trainingMy family all recently took training for our open water diving at Diventures. The staff, instructors, sales, everyone has been so helpful and does a great job. Training is outstanding.

— James K.

What a great experienceI went to their shop being very much a novice to the scuba experience. The staff was very knowledgeable and courteous. They had me take an introduction class, and it blew me away. While I was waiting, I decided to ask the other people their impression of Diventures, and everyone could not have been more praising.
